Managing obesity in men

  • National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) launched a dissemination centre this year. Part of this is a feature called ‘NIHR Highlights’ which are reviews of NIHR-funded research in important areas, targeted at practitioners, decision makers and patients. The first of these Highlights was on managing obesity in men and focused on the work I’ve been involved in and another high profile study led by Kate Hunt in Glasgow: http://www.dc.nihr.ac.uk/highlights-and-reviews/obesity-in-men
